Trying to close the barn door at this late date Mr. President? With unemployment over the top, any dummy knows the work horses have already left. What's even worse, is that you are insulting our intelligence by hosting a payback get-together and calling it a jobs forum. This is the President's 12th such gathering in as many months.

Obama always stacks the deck to generate the results he wants and this is no different. Once again, our puppet President is dancing at the end of the strings manipulated by the radical left. It's the President's guest list that's troubling to workers in America and the small businesses that hire 80% of them. There are some small businesses that are reportedly attending including a Washington government contractor. But it is the exclusions from the summit list that will minimize or nullify any ideas and conclusions reached or proposed today.

If you are unemployed or run a business that has been suffering; if you find that financially, things are more difficult and getting worse; if you want to enjoy opportunity for you and your children in the future, and not be a slave to government, consider who's missing from the summit table —

The United States Chamber of Commerce: According to the organization's description of itself, "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations. More than 96% of U.S. Chamber members are small businesses with 100 employees or fewer."

A December 2008 public opinion survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that Americans rank the U.S. Chamber of Commerce among the top five best-known and respected organizations in Washington. The Chamber consistently leads the pack on lobbying expenditures.

That's right! The Chamber is located near the White House and has a staff of hundreds of the nation's top policy experts. It is a pro-business organization with special initiatives that cover energy, infrastructure, education and training.

The National Federation of Independent Businesses: This is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1943, representing the consensus views of its members in Washington and all 50 state capitals. It's own statement says, NFIB’s mission is to promote and protect the right of our members to own, operate and grow their businesses.

NFIB also gives its members a power in the marketplace. By pooling the purchasing power of its members, the National Federation of Independent Business gives members access to many business products and services at discounted costs. NFIB also provides timely information designed to help small businesses succeed.

NFIB members have the opportunity to help protect small business owners across America by contributing to NFIB's PAC, the SAFE Trust (Save America's Free Enterprise Trust), a powerful and effective small business political action committee. It is dedicated to supporting Congressional candidates who promote small business interests.

Small Business Owners: Insignificant representation at this gathering yet if small businesses provide most of the jobs in this country, wouldn't you think their presence and contribution would be appreciated, let alone needed? But remember, small business are big supporters of free enterprise and that's not what this administration is all about. Finally getting the picture of what this "change" is all about? It's a wowser, isn't it!

Now let's look at the invited. (Not a complete list but a good indication.) It's not that I think these people should not be included. Again, it is the uninvited that makes this summit a farce.

Unions and big Obama supporters during the 2008 election including The Service Employees International Union (more than $29,000,000 contributed to Obama) and linked to Acorn, if you remember. The American Federation of Teachers (along with the AFL-CIO contributed almost $2,000,000). The United Food & Commercial Workers International Union ($673,300). The United Steel Workers Union professing strong support for Obama early in his campaign and throughout. (Figure not available.)

Academics, Economists & Politicians: Among them, Joe Stiglitz, Columbia University (an Obama contributor); Susan Collins, dean of the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy; and let's not forget Detroit Mayor, Dave Bing. Michigan of course, has the highest unemployment rate in the country.

Entertainment & Media : Disney chief Bob Iger, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, New York Times Columnist, Paul Krugman and Wall Street Journal's Alan Blinder.

Corporations responsible for laying off thousands of workers including AT&T, ComCast, Siemens, Qwest and others. The CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt personally donated to Obama and will be at the summit. His company contributed more than $803,000 to Obama's campaign.

There is a token CEO rebel who donated to the Republican campaign, Fred Smith, CEO of Federal Express.

I can't wait to see the statement released after this payback summit. Obama double talk at its best, no doubt carefully crafted to convince the clueless that he will solve the problem. Without the free-market small business voices, the solutions are bound to emphasize spending that will result in more taxes that will stimulate unemployment.
